13 Wonderful Years

So it was 13 years ago today that my Sweet Husband and I were sealed together forever. I remember it still very clearly. We walked together alone from the Temple apartments to the Los Angeles Temple doors where we waited for our parents. President Davies Sealed us. I had known him my entire life (at that time all 19 years of it). It was wonderful, beautiful, exciting, scary, new and we were off. Outside to pictures and greet friends. I was so skinny! I remember sitting on a bench in my dress talking to William. I asked if he was happy. "Of Course" he said. Then I told him good because now he couldn't get rid of me so easily..we were stuck....together...forever... I was so excited!!!

So now as I look back on 13 years of Marriage, I wonder how we have made it? We have accomplished a lot. We lived off of $6.25 an hour when we were first wed. How? I don't know. But we did. We also have achieved the following:

1999 - Our first child is born

2000- I graduate from CSUB

2000- I start teaching Kindergarten Wm goes back to school

2001- Finish my Teaching Credential

2001- Bought a house ($69,000, 3 beadrooms)

2003- Miss K joins our Family

2003- May, my Father Dies (hardest day of my life)

2004- Wm graduates from CSUB

2005- Leave our "home" and move to Northern California (take a pay cut)

2006- Baby #3 comes to us

2007- I get to teach Kindergarten again! (Best year ever)

2008- Got laid off/ bought a house a week later baby number 4 has joined our family

2009- am loving being a stay at home mom

So we have had a lot of fun over the last 13 years. I know we will have more as the years continue forward. I know that we were meant to be. My sweet man treats me like I should treat him. I know he loves me and our loud crazy little ones. He makes me want to be a better person. I lets me be. He believes in me. He has unwavering Faith.

I love you!

We spent the day at the beach and then got to go to the movies. It was wonderful! Thanks auntie Gina!
